Charles Barkley or “Chuck”, “Sir Charles”, and “The Round Mound of Rebound”, has been a larger than life on and off the court for three decades. One of the most dominant force the NBA has ever seen, participating in 11 All-Star game out of his 16 year career. Barkley also has a couple of All-Star MVP trophies as well as a league MVP honor as well. The most charming trait of Charlie is his ability to have and make fun of himself, putting his much deserved ego aside. Today, as we celebrate his 50th birthday we look back at some of his finer moments.
